G. Love & Special Sauce (G. Love and Special Sauce) - Thanks and Praise lyrics

A fistful of steel in my right hand And if it be Jah will I began Giving thanks and praise Cause I coulda been Pushing up daisies With Babylon trying to phase me But I evade it you see Ya if was Something that had nothing to do with me Giving thanks for the quest For one love and one unity Cause free is what we should be One people not in captivity Giving thanks for the sun up above Shine on everyone Raise a Jah love It keeps my black skin black So you know it's a factor Giving thanks for the days that's past us Jah provides not because he has to Giving thanks for what I have Jah Remember I and I When you're pa**ing by and by Would you ever see an eye When I give thanks and praise .... Well even if you got the whole damn world on your shoulders Every day you're still alive But a little bit older I just shake it off Can't let it get me down Especially in this crunch time I won't just wanna sit around and?? I got to keep my sh** together We been walking on this earth forever I might've lost my job Lost my girl's touch But I ain't in a rush So hush baby hush I'm just chilling in the park Clear my mind It's a nice day The sky's still blue The wind is still blowing The trees are still growing My baby boy is two You're getting bigger everyday We chilling Philly Around the way where we living Got the whole world in check This is just the beginning So I keep my mind open Eyes shining bright I'm an old dog learning new tricks every night And every time you get cut You know you might get scarred But don't sweat it kid Just remember who you are When I give thanks and praise .... Giving thanks for the birds And the herbs And the words I speak To a superb sound Giving thanks for the funky dope sound Giving thanks for the ground Place stone Haile Sela**ie (JAH!) Jah will being done in the fulfillment of the prophecy Door to door King of Kings All eternity Giving thanks for my health 'Cause I know that somewhere there's children starving to d**h Giving thanks for my friends and my family I couldn't make it sometimes Without them helping me Someday this world will come up Babylon taking me through phases We're still giving thanks and praise Gotta give thanks and praise
